The collective expertise encompassed research interests in epidemiology, motor control, and knowledge translation.

What people are saying

"Improved upper extremity functioning is an important goal in stroke rehabilitation. This novel evidence-based smartphone application provides easily accessible guidelines of best practice for arm interventions post stroke. I believe that the application will be a useful tool for therapists worldwide."

Our Partners

The Heart & Stroke Foundation Canadian Partnership for Stroke Recovery is a joint initiative of the Heart and Stroke Foundation and Canada’s leading stroke recovery research centres. Headquartered at the University of Ottawa, the Partnership restores quality of life to people affected by stroke by harnessing the collective expertise of leading national and international stroke recovery researchers to create, share and apply new knowledge.

One of their initiatives is Stroke Engine — a site that was built with the goal of bridging the gap in knowledge translation between research findings and current clinical practice.

As the world-leading rehabilitation research centre, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute is developing practical solutions to prevent illness and accidents, restore function following a disabling event, and to enable people to continue to live in their own homes and communities as they age. It integrates innovative patient care, ground breaking research and diverse education to build healthier communities and advance the role of rehabilitation in the health system. Toronto Rehab is a member of the University Health Network.
